Abstract

Swarm and evolutionary computation topics has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in solving complex optimization problems across various scientific and engineering fields. However, as these methods are increasingly used in high-risk applications such as healthcare, finance, and autonomous systems, there is a growing need to address their ethical, interpretability, and social implications. This editorial outlines key guidelines for creating bio-inspired computing systems that are responsible and transparent, highlighting the fundamental role of ethics and explainability in shaping the future of evolutionary and swarm learning.
